Location: Perez Zeledon, San Jose, Costa Rica
Located just minutes from the center of Rivas, Pérez Zeledón, this versatile property offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking convenience, usable land, and natural water features at an approachable price point. Set on a flat 4,710 square meter lot (approximately 1.16 acres), the property combines easy access with development potential, all within one of the southern zone’s most practical and well-connected mountain communities.
The land is fully usable and level, making it ideal for expansion, additional construction, gardens, or a small residential compound. A year-round flowing creek runs along the property, providing a constant natural water feature, pleasant ambiance, and excellent potential for landscaping or ecological enhancement. Properties with permanent flowing water and flat terrain this close to town are increasingly difficult to find in the Rivas area.
A very basic three-bedroom, one-bathroom house currently sits on the property. The structure is simple and functional, suitable for immediate occupancy, caretaker use, or temporary living while planning a future build. Alternatively, it can be renovated or replaced depending on the buyer’s vision. The value here lies primarily in the land, location, and water features rather than the existing home, offering flexibility for a wide range of uses.
The property borders a public road, ensuring straightforward access year-round with no easements or complicated entry points. Utilities are readily available in the area, and the proximity to town makes daily logistics easy and efficient. Rivas is known for its cooler climate, strong agricultural roots, and growing popularity among both locals and expats who appreciate its blend of rural charm and accessibility.
From the property, it’s only a couple of minutes to the center of Rivas, where you’ll find supermarkets, hardware stores, a pharmacy, banks, restaurants, and other essential services. Downtown San Isidro de El General is approximately 10 minutes away, offering full city amenities including hospitals, private medical clinics, major shopping, and professional services. For beach lovers, the vibrant surf and lifestyle town of Dominical is just under an hour away, making day trips to the coast easy and enjoyable.
This property is well suited for a variety of buyers: someone looking for an affordable homesite close to town, a small-scale agricultural or garden project, or an investor seeking a flat, accessible parcel with natural water and strong long-term value. With its combination of location, creek frontage, public road access, and usable terrain, this Rivas property represents a solid opportunity in one of Pérez Zeledón’s most desirable and practical areas.
